Chapter 26 Section five

Yan Guxing sells his music boxes on the busy streets of Lecheng.He opened all the music boxes and made them echo Ding Dingdongdong's music. The business was very good that day, and in the evening, there was only one music box left on his small stall, singing alone.Maybe, he thought, he made his music too bleak to sell.As it was getting dark, he left the main street, crossed a side street, rounded a street corner, walked up a narrow and dark downhill, and wanted to see the Lecheng River.As he was walking, he suddenly felt a little itchy neck, as if a mosquito had bitten him, so he quickly reached out to beat him, but nothing happened.He turned his head and saw a small figure flying away, like a moth, and also like a huge mosquito, it was too dark, he couldn't see what it was, and continued to walk down.

The blue butterfly flapped its wings and flew to the top of the downhill, and Lan Yue'er was wearing a black silk satin cloak, waiting there.She saw the back of this clown on the street just now. He was wearing a blue clown suit, sprinkled with bright stars, a high collar like a wave, and a floppy long hat on his head. , with a small golden fur ball at the end, and Ding Dingdongdong's singing is rippling from the small stall hanging in front.She had never sucked a clown's blood, so she followed him until he was walking down the shadowy downhill, the stalls on him singing a mournful song.

She raised her face, opened her mouth slightly, and the blue butterfly that had sucked the clown's blood fluttered on her lips, slowly spitting the blood into her mouth.She thought with all her heart that she would eat the joy of the clown, but what she got was memories.Why does the clown's blood taste like memories?There are childhood memories and nostalgia in it.She suddenly thought of Yan Guxing and the sheep with eight hooves, and also thought of the kite flying in the sky.Perhaps, the blood of joy is just this taste, which brings people back to the old happy days. She felt a little drunk, not drunk, but fell into the blurred world of happiness, where there was a past that could not be washed away for a while, a kind of trance when she looked back suddenly, and she saw the moment when she was a little girl.In the long river of time, some things can never be recovered, she gradually fell in love with the person in her memory, although Yan Guxing is dead.

That night, she stood on the karaoke stage and sang happy songs, time seemed to go back.In the lingering singing, the people in the audience all remembered the happy past. There is only one exception, because he has no love and no memory.He was sitting in the back row, wearing a black bowler hat and a black dress with a fresh red rose pinned to his lapel. Under the brim of the hat, he stared at Lan Yueer with gloomy eyes.
